McGill researchers create shapeshifting materials that could power the next generation of soft robots
McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.
In Memoriam: Robert Lee
The Department is sad to announce the passing of Dr. Robert G. H. Lee, proud alumnus of our metallurgical engineering program (class 1947), great innovator of air-injection technology in molten metal furnaces, and generous McGill supporter (created the Robert Lee scholarship).
